The copper coin now circulating is estimated at 600 boas, which, added to 160 tons of the last coinage in the Bank of Ireland, make seven hundred and fifty tong. This amount is to be recalled at the rate of twenty-six prate to the pound weight, or 2421. 13s. 4d. to the ton. The value of its therefore, will be 182,0001. To this is to he added the expence of melting, the charge of coinage, and the amount of freight, making in all a sum of 47 ,2501., which being added to the value of the coin, make a total of 219,2501. The same 750 tons of Copper coined and sent into circula tion, qt's. the pound weight, or 2241. the ton, will amount to 168,0001.

The Bishop. of FERNS moved for Copies of all Letters from the Catechists of Chartered Schools in Ireland. Lord KING complained or the - conduct of the Directors and other persons connected with the establishment of these schools. Tite abuses existing in their administrittion and arrangeMent had been pointed out in the Report of at l'arliamentary Com mittee.in I 815„ but had nut yet been corrected, - 114 t also risked why the Assistant-Master of. the schOol at etrajha. after having been di sc h arge d for cruelty, had betniafterWkds pro moted to ahigher situation ? • The Mishap of FERNS state d t h at t h e individual question having been tried on three indictments and acquitted, it had been thought only fair to employ him as an i n rent wait. The Right Rev. Prelate then vindicated the general adotinistration and management of those schools, and showed ky . a case in which h e was personally engaged, how liptly,ehams were made and ta k en up against establiAnnenta.ortiraliimC Lord KIND tbouLrht that if the ItiglitlietThite wekso Willing.and Cariable-of defending those wheat', he had Welter give notice, and make a motion on the subject when the House should be in possession of the evidence. The !notion was then agreed to. Lord . KING wished to - inquire of the Noble Earl opposite, what information it was his intention to produce on the subject of these school to the House. The Earl of LIVERPOOL stated, that the same informa tion which had been laid before the Coranuins, should be sub. ject to their Lordships. The Marquis of LA NSDOWN, after alluding to the im portance of extending education to every part of Ireland, and the necessity of inquiring into the state of the establishments intended for that purpose, and vindicating the labours of the Committee and the correctness of its Report on that subject, moved for a Return of the number of Charter Schods in Ire land, distinguishing the number of the scholars ; and for a si milar Return of the number of Roman Catholic Schools and of their Scholars.—Ordered. On the motion of the Noble zs, a message was or dered to be sent to the Commons for a Copy of the Report of their Committee on the state of" Tolls in Ireland. - CORN LAWS. Lord KING presented a Petition front the Pariah of St. Luke, in London, praying tbr revision of the Corn Laws. The Petitioners said they had much confidence in the good inten tions of his Majesty's Ministers. The Noble Lord had the same confidence, anti was only afraid they would be prevented front carrying their good intentions into execution by those who had an undue interest in the question. lie had been considered a most extraordinary person fbr taking his own view of the sub ject. Souse said be was a dead weight in that House; another said he had a vicious propensity to inake corn cheap. He had been told he attacked the Corn Bill, and the landed interest like miscreants at the Old Bailey; that he called it a job, alias the job of jobs, tubas the Landlord's tax. It was true he used those terms, and he • did so, because he thought the existing eorn Laws should be distinguished by such names. The Noble Lord called upon the novermnent to consider what would be the state of the country if the price of coin was to rise. There was much less corn in the granaries of this town than ever was known to be. If corn should get u_p belbre the harvest, this c ou nt r y would be tinder worse difficul ties than in 1819. During seven years there had been no im portation from abroad. Did they think they could always get a supply from abroad ? Ile understood they could not always get a supply. The price of 80s. will a famine price.. The Noble Lord had seen a statement made in the interior of France respecting the present prices on the Continent. The price in France was 27 francs ; at Amsterdam it was 12. The only place where corn reached the price at which it. sold in England, was under the government of Ferdinand in Spain. The only remedy was the revision of the Corn Laws, and that could not be done till the Noble lord swept away the cobwebs of the Cabinet— till lie cleared away all the old lumber, anti sent it to King Ferdinand. The Noble Lord would then have an opportunity of discussing the question. lie did not, however, think that could be done, therefore he should suggest that a etrentarlateer be written at the Meeting of Parliament in the billowing terms : —4 , My Lords, I have to inform your Lordships that Padia silent will meet for the dispatch of business on the 1d of Fe. binary, and as much important business is to come forward, Your Lordships' absence will be necessary."—The Noble Lord added, that the question must be considered without prejudice, and he advised the House to do justice. What right had they to make corn dear ? If it should appear that Parliament passed laws to make corn dear, some great convulsion might occur, and it might be said—begone, and make place for hottest men. Lord CA LT HOR PE, though he did not approve of the system of the Corn Laws, wished to do justice to the hones. y of those by whom it had been frimed, who, he was convincer) had in view at the time, not the advantage of the landed in terest alone, but the general good of the commtinity. , Serious evils, however, would arise from leaving a question of that kind in the situation in which it now stood.. The best way to cure all delusions would be to submit it to the consideration of a Committee of the House. The Noble Earl opposite had acted very wisely on a recent occasion by following such a course on another subject. Allten a disposition existed in the two conflicting parties to entertain exaggerated opinions, the only way to induce them to view the subject with calmness and moderation, and to bring into play the immense mass of information which pervaded the middle classes was to submit the question to Parliamentary inquiry. Should his Majesty's Ministers be debated in both Houses in an attempt to introduce a measure of that kind, either defeat would only serve to raise them in the public esteem. When he considered die degree of respect which they had acquired in consequence of the measures which they had adopted for the opening of trade, he felt that they were doing an act of injustice to themselves, to Parlia ment, and to the country in abstaining from submitting the subject to inquiry. That was an indispensable step in the wise course of commercial policy which his 3lajeaty's Ministers were pursuing. The Earl of LIMERICK deprecated the continual discus sion of a question so calculated to agitate the public mind, anti thought that the speech of the Noble Baron who lied presented the Petition from the parish of St. Luke's was abundantly hn pregnatetl with the spirit which prevailed in that quarter. He trusted, however, that the people would not suffer themselves to be led by such assertions and invitations as those which ha i l been made by the Noble Lord. Viscount CI,IFDEN was glad that the question was not to be brought forward this Session, and thought it wise in his Ma jesty's Ministers, after disposing of the great subject of the Currency, to abstain this yeer feom a topic calculated to excite so much discussion. lle hoped, however, that they would con- • sitter it seriously, and would see the propriety of changing the, systein fr o o r m ti a le g ( e 7 174. Laws, and subs! ituting for it moderate: duty, suffi c i e nt to p r otect the agricultural interest. He had heard Ilan abroad that there were not such quantities of corn as would be likely to crush the home market, if allowed to be imported. Indeed two kinds of gritin had been imported, and no injury had been the result. Burley, since the importation or that grain, had been at fi2s..hl. per quarter. It ' bad since fallen to 325._; but that was in consequ e nce of the failure of country banks, and not of importation. It had also been apprehended in-Ireland, that if foreign 0,101 were admit ted, native outs would fall to a quarter. The importation had taken place, and the home price had nut been below 15s. The petition was then laid on the table. COUNTRY DANK NOTES. The Marquis . of LANSDOWN wisiftd to call the atten tion of thellouse, and of the Noble Earl apposite, to the.neces eity of making a provision to render the notes of country banks Payable at the p laces where they were issued. He was aware that a clause somewhat to that effect was intreduced in the Bill which was now waiting the Royal Assent ; bin it only ex tended to the notes issued by the Branch Banks to be esta blished. There were ac this period not leas tics fie ty _e y , country banks that issued notes only payable in !Af l ame— One of them was an Aberdeen Bank, notwithstanding the distance of' that place from the metropolis. • A s it Im o of the mischief of this practices.. he had to state that the notes of the Branch Banks, made Payable in Dublin, eh-milted through the south of-Ireland at-a diseount,•and that one of those notes could not b e changed at Cork Without a •loss of four-pence in the pound. It wits absolutely necessary th at p a yments should be connected with the I►romise ' to pay. Tlf be- knew to what office to apply, in order to make the return effeetnal, be should move for a list of- those - Banks which nettle, their notes payable in Landon, iii order that the . publie should knoW the names of those who carried on so injurious a practice. t without the aid of the Noble 14 . .ar1 ! -opposite, he did hot: kooW how such a return could be procured. The Earl or LIVERPOOlcwonld most willingly put the Noble. Marquis in the way of obtaining the information which he desirek, if it-were in the power of Perliament to do so. But unless Parliament Should authorise .route new means, as the law now stood it- Could not be done. lie agreed in the propriety of Notes not being paid where they were issued. So strong indetd was the impiession on his mind, that in the Act which had lately passed, a-clause had been inserted to Prevent the future issue of Notes which were not payable on the'spot. Ile admitted :that. it would be desirable that. thiS clause should operate immediately ; • but it was impossible that it should be done without the violation of what might besalled a vested and•established right. .having before the passing of that measure stopped at once the stamping of all country notes, and allowed three years fur the extinction of those in existence, no difference could now be made between those that were payable in town or izethe country, as !Ur as .England was concerned. But as nothing; had been legislated yet on the subject for Ire land a nd Scotland, it was competent for the (;;ionnittee,now sitting to bring in an Act, which would put an cud to the prat:. rice as far as it regarded those countries. Should no other thing be legislated, it would be worth eonstderation whether such an Act:sliould.iot be passed separately. The Marquis . .I.4ANSDOWN Mt the difficulties mentioned by the Noble Earl, as they regarded England. . IVith respect to Scotland and Ireland, there were none ; and he did not see the necessity of waiting till the Committee now sitting should make their Report, as the two subjects had very little connec tion together; for the practice slid not apply to the one and two pound notes only, but to notes of all descriptions. lie did not wish to hurry the Noble Earl, but he should give notice, that after Easter he should. call the attention of the House to the subject ; and would pot it to the Noble Earl whether he w ou ld not, independently of all other measures, bring in a Bill to pre-: vent any facility to stamps being afforded to those Bunks who should issue notes payable only in London. • ;The LORD'CILANCELLOR recollected a case which had come before their Lordships by Writ of Errs*. It was one in which a promissory note or bill of exchange had been refused to be paid in the country, because it was made . payabl e i n Lou. don. The question' was where it ought to have been presented ; and the Judges differed among themselves. The majority of them however, and their. Lorahips afterwards, lind decided that payment ought to be demanded In London. But - an Act of arliament had since passed which directed that payment for all notes nuale payable in London might be asked any where, unless were expressed on the face of. them that they were .pay able in London, and not . elsewhere. He should Make it his duty to look into the Act to which lie alluded, but he believed this to be the state of the law at present. • After a few words from the Earl of LIMERICK and Viscount lllt:cvir.r.r, who said that it might be a point for considera tion, whether Branch Banks, being merely the agents of a main liankothould be compelled to pay their notes at.the spot, or at the head establishment, the conversation wholly dropped. Earl ,ApiriiisyiPigtjf-olcli presented n petition from Truro, in the Abolition of Slavery-L. Laid -on the table.

RANK NOTES. Mr. nitENFELL begged to draw the attention of the House to the fact, that six persons had been already sentenced to death at Lancaster since the Bank had res►tined its issues, for forging or uttering U. flank of raigland notes, lie thouot it highly necessary that the Bank, under such circumstances, ,hottid take measures to render their notes more difficult of king imitated.

NEWPORT rose to Call the attention of the Donate td the subject of the FirSt Fruits in Ireland. The. first litho were the amount of income derived from eery eetlesiathical living t'or the first year, and a shilling in the poand Of its profits theneelawnrit At the !termination these first fruits, which were' previously paid to the Holy See, became a part of the revenues of the Crown, and rendered to the King, in his capacity of Geed of the Church. So they continued till the reign of Queen Anne, who granted them for the support of the Church. Queen Anne had released them from the payment of the one shilling in the pound on the amount of church livings, in con Sequence of .an arrangement that those sums should go into *fund for the maintenance of certain poor persons, and for augmenting the salaries of certain poor livings or rectories. however, it happened that many benefices at that period,. and even suttee.; quently, were not valued ; and it was con jectured that these livings did not amount to less than 'ooe-fourth of' the whole.— Dere was ten omission which called Inittlly for revision. It was observable, that in the valhatieti of English and Irish Arch., bishoprics and Biehopries ' there *as en obviously incorrect proportion in their quota of txmtribntion—the Irish Archbishops and Bishop* contributing, during a period of seven years, not /lime than 910/. on this account, whereas the English contributed not less than 5,480/. darn)* the period of seven years. Whibit the public was in a state at Ignorance these things might per haps, if not tolerated, be passed over without any remark, but lately the 'system of compounding for the tithes of the parishes had brought to light u speaking fact namely, that ninety five Irish Benefices which had been valued at and of cottrse only contributed 6021. acttially c o mpounded for these tithes for 0,0110/.—(llear I)—A nd now from year to year a large Nitro had been 'asked for the very purposes to Which these First Fruits were applicable. The poor Irish peasant •was compelled to build and repair Churches at his cost, which ought in tact to' be repaid out of these First Fruits, and which, had they re.; niained in the hands of the Crown, would have been no doubt liable to a fresh valuation sass to fneet even increased demands. The Glebe bands of Ireland now amotinied to 100,000 or 1,000,000 of English acres, yet from this enormous rental, the maintenance and repairs of the Irish churches were not to' be defrnyed. Ireland bail long been known to take the lead in atises, and there would hardly be a stronger ettemplideation of it than that the Primate of Ireland only contributed to this` fund 4001., whilst the Archbishop of Canterbury contributed 2,1100/. in. the same way; that remarkably rico Bishopric, Clogher, certainly worth 10.0001., contributed, in consequence of this mode of valuation, 31$01. •The house had been told much of the necessity of assimilation. Ile could not see, under such encouraging promises, why property to such an amount should be allowed to continue tinproductive to this fund. He felt it hence hitt duty to put hpon record a set of resolutions stating the history of these First Fruits, and the reasons why Queen Anne had surrendered then), and should conehide by moving that a Select Committee shohlti be appointed to inquire whether any and what measures 'were necessary to inset the exigencies of the-eased The Right Hon. Baronet then moved his first resolution—" That the First Fruits. anti the Annates of Livings in Ireland, amounting to one twentieth part of such livings, or twelve pence in the poiind sterling, oh the Estate of the Church. were anti continued until 1710, a Royal Revenue.", Mr. MM. I I4III.IRN said this was the fourth occasion when he had been called on officially to repeat the arguments with which he had combated the proposition they had just heard. On a later occasion the arguments of the night I hm. Baronet had been exatnined and unelected by the legs! nromen and tmpres.l sive eloquence of his Rigid nom Friend t h e Attorney.tleneral for Irehind, so copiously and satisfactorily, that lie might al. most be excused it he contented himself with resting the merits of the question on a reference to the diseussious of that night— lint this night the question bad come forward antler anew form, for the Hon. Baronet had covertly assumed that the First Vruits in Ireland, and of course iii•Engltinti, were liable to the repairing and building of churches, a charge which hitherto had g f a t Il a : e l: tit : fi n , twi t i g eit clergy ly u il t(. i nl e i t i t g wi l a ' a u si n n t i l ; s a . dien S i So fear fact tt r di flits tewr att nnrooetitilooartiiirontvetitertielyha that .o r et the cern and augment the incomes of poor incumbents. Neither the history of the grant to the church, tracing it to its source, nor yet the law on the subject of the annates, had been correctly stated. It would be found that the first fruits in the tunes of the Popes, who then possessed this ecclesiastical income, were never taken at any thing like,- or near to their real value. The point had b een settled both by the tlfftit and 211th of henr y VIII. as to the low rate of composition to be taken antler the sanction_ of an Act of Parliament, which was enforced through the medium of a permission consisting; of the then :hiner of the Itolls anti other b gal anthoriti vx subse quently appointed by that King.
